- ASAva SopraseuthNov 8, 20251.0I came in here to get my birthday drink and needed sometime to look at what I wanted. The worker kept glaring at me as I was deciding. I changed my mind after she wrote the drink order on the cup (which wasn’t even made). They didn’t make the drink yet because they were busy serving five other people and doing mobile orders. So after she put the cup to the side I asked if I could change my drink. She said it was too late, but then I see four other drinks before me made. I’ll still be a usual here but I would not hire people who mumbles and complains about customers as they are leaving the store. In that case don’t work there. I work in the hotel industry myself and that’s not how to treat anyone who comes in ordering premium coffee.
- DBDanny BarrenOct 23, 20253.0Good coffee, but it is definitely overpriced and I have noticed that they are giving you less product for the same price. Any large coffee is only just over half full. It's "shrinkflation," and you aren't getting what you paid for.
- FKFerha KhanSep 20, 20251.0The coffee tastes like dirt water, my God.
- MWMiranda WagnerSep 10, 20255.0Such a welcoming coffee shop! The lady at the counter was so kind she listened to my bridal chaos and even gave thoughtful recommendations that helped ease the stress. I had the French Vietnamese Au Lait and it was perfect: smooth, balanced, and not too sweet (coming from a black-coffee drinkin’ gal!). Great people, great coffee. Highly recommend!
